Need assistance for Buzz Pro

[marcalbar]

I just got my new Buzz Pro (blue with chrome top/end caps) and 2 sets of Powerizer batts a few hours ago. Put in the batts and checked for red led, yes!

Popped in an atty and checked for the blue led...none, red led still on. Tried a tank and carto and both didn't fire as well. Red led on.

Checked inside top cap, everything seems to be in order..no cut wires or anythin.

Removed batts and ask BP veterans for inputs.

Hoping not to send unit back because it's a pain from where I'm at.

Thanks in advance folks.

I don't have anything to offer you, marcalbar, sorry. I'm sure the others will be along shortly who are better at this than I. Have you looked at this thread, though? It sounds like it may be a similar problem...

I'm no expert, but have you tried playing with the center post/ acrew? On mine it was sitting high. A couple of turns of the screw and all was well

Perhaps silly, but did you charge the batts? If they come in fairly low, they'll need to be topped off to use them. I forget how my Powerizers arrived, but they may have needed a full charge cycle before use.

I bet you got the 510 connector huh? Some of them have touble with the center post sitting too low. You can try loosening the screw in there a touch or raising the center post on your cartos. The best thing is Mike has spacers for them to raise the post I think. He should be on about 10: am West coast time. Send him a PM or Email.
Check post #23 on this thread about raising the post on your carto. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-thread-only-post-helpful-stuff-please-3.html

Even with no carto or atty it'll switch to blue LED when fired, if there's enough power available (at least that's how mine works). I forget what happens if it is just missing the spacer completely.

I appreciate your inputs folks. Have pm'ed Mike already and awaiting his reply. Will keep on fiddling with it.

I read in one of Mike's posts that the batts come half charged so I put them in. Now I'm home I'll put them in the charger and see what happens.

Thanks! Will update soon.

The half charge is the culprit is my guess.

I always start with the basics, which includes a multimeter to check battery charge.

I've been wrong before when I thought I had charged the batteries before I put them back into rotation.

Charged all 4 batts at 4.24v. Popped them in, red led on but still no blue led..still won't fire.

Thanks for joining me on this one guys.

Sandman's calling. Be back in a few hours.

Thanks bov! We're exchanging pm's now. He's giving me instructions on how to figure this thing out. I'm mechanically challenged so it's taking a while

LOL you are doing fine Marc

My Buzz Pro did the same thing on the first day I received it. I had to loosen the bottom end cap a TINY bit. I thought that was pretty weird, but nonetheless it worked. It seems to have cured itself, but even now, when I'm not getting any vapor or hit, it's the first thing I check before changing batteries.

 

[BuzzKill]

Make sure the bottom cap and tube surface are clean !!!

+1 on tinkering with the top screw...but i'm sure you've probably tried this. Guy mentality...see screw...turn screw...HAhaha
